Dropadi

Reviewed By DiFlies - Lyndhurst, United Kingdom

If you can get a table overlooking the beach, it's especially nice. Service is good, and it's really nice to have pretty cotton serviettes and table cloths. Friends tried to seafood pasta which looked really good, and they said was excellent, but we stuck to Indian dishes. They make really great parathas in the tandoor, as well as other breads. There are plenty of very reasonably priced Indian dishes. Seafood is more expensive, but really good. Beers are cold, and there is a good selection of cocktails.

Madhu's Beach Huts Restaurant

Reviewed By DJGR - Windsor, United Kingdom

We’ve been coming to Madhu’s for years and it’s still one of the best places in Agonda.
Shekhar is a great host and always makes time to talk to you and importantly checks that everything is as you would expect.
The staff are hardworking, pleasant and are accommodating should you ask for your menu choice to be served without certain ingredients etc.
The food always delivers, the Indian food is some of the best we’ve had.
The WiFi is the strongest we have come across in the restaurants too.
Thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals here again this year.

Me and my husband Dorje ate here twice while in Agonda and LOVED the food. We are trying to clean/healthy and this is as healthy as it gets! Loved their coconut, spirulina smoothie and the papaya, flaxseed, green salad with millet roti. Yum! For those complaining here about being expensive, you get what you pay for!
It's vegan, it's organic, and it's made with lot of love and effort. We own an organic farm too so we know how much work goes into it! We met Pravin, the owner who's a man with a vision, who believes in eco friendly, recycling and permaculture and that's what we love about this whole place! We will definitely return when we come to South Goa!

Magic Italy Authentic Italian Restaurant Pizzeria

Reviewed By Akshiv_Baluja - New Delhi, India

This place is run by an Italian family and as one would expect they serve a simple menu of Pizzas and Pasta with a number of options to explore. Pick the one that'll excite your taste buds. The owners of the restaurant were very kind to open the kitchen for some additional time to take our order, since we arrived quite late.The preparation, the aroma and the taste are authentic.
Palolem beach deserves a repeat visit and so do this place.
Do note that like many other places in Goa, they don't accept cards, but only cash and paytm.

At Ourem 88 we endeavour to use the freshest, locally sourced seasonal produce & a variety of speciality imported produce fused with a western style of cooking to give you a tasty vibrant menu in relaxed & friendly surroundings. Our small evening bistro menu changes regularly according to seasonal availability in the market to ensure a new & exciting experience on every visit. Being a small restaurant which serves fresh home cooked food, which prides itself on quality & customer satisfaction, we are limited to the amount of tables we are able to serve in an evening. Larger tables are recommended to call in advance to check availability, Last Orders are taken at 9pm. The restaurant can also be reached via the Ourem 88 just beside Akash Travels.

We were fortunate to eat here twice during our holiday, I had booked one of the meals in November. Booking is essential as they only serve 20 people per night, and we saw a few people disappointed that they were unable to get a table.
On both occasions the food was exceptional. The portion size was very generous. We both had starters and mains on the first visit, so unfortunately didn’t have room for pudding. On the second occasion we shared a starter and pudding.
Brett made a perfect host.

Reviewed By SamanthaRoseSandham

Came with high expectations after Reading good reviews. Unfortunately, I was little underwhelmed. Beautiful setting, on the beach. I would advise getting here early as the restaurant fills up quickly after 6.30 with hotel guests, with many not being able to get a table. Service wasn't the best, not particularly friendly, and not attentive at all compared to the other restaurants along the beach. It was very difficult to catch a waiters attention. Orders were forgotten and when we received the bill, we had been overcharged. Food was okay, nothing special, chicken very tough but I suppose at least it was well cooked through! There is much better along the rest of the beach.

An excellent place for breakfast, a capuccino, a roast beef Sandwich, a full meal or just a dessert. A drink or a beer. They've got it all. Very good service. Sometimes live music. Highly recommended.

Ciarans

Reviewed By awayfromhome1970 - London, United Kingdom

The best place along this stretch, for sure the cleanest in presentation. First time I’ve actually had a linen serviette too. Quality food, good prices and fast services. The live music tonight was excellent too a great guitarist and pianist. A shame the kitchen shut at 10.20 as may have ordered dessert.

German Bakery

Reviewed By FarAwayFromHome - Maidenhead

We went to this venue several times & enjoyed the hospitality, along with generally good food. But the big let down was the bakery side of things - we tried several of the cakes over 3 days on on each occasion they were dry or stale. If the bakery products were improved this venue would get 5 starts from me because it was otherwise delightful.

Big bamboo bar and restaurant

Reviewed By sydfood

The little restaurant tucked away on Paloem beach is a must visit. Sunset cocktails and chilled beats makes for a great way to spend you afternoon.
The food is great fresh, delicious and well priced. But what really makes this place is the the staff.. Always have a smile, will make anything possible and genuinely care.
Deepu the owner is super friendly... very trustworthy and lives to share local knowledge.
I visit India quite often... and when in Paloem always eat here.
Highly recommended, you'll pleasantly surprised.
